Description

The government boasts that Outpost 21 is the home of scientific research that will benefit all humanity. On the surface, Outpost 21 appears to be a peaceful complex that provides its small team of dedicated scientists with living quarters, research labs, and recreational facilities. However, not even the aliens who recently inhabited Outpost 21 were aware of the dark and dirty secrets that lie beneath .

TNCROSS2 - A DEATHMATCH LEVEL (E2M1) BY VALIS
Well, perhaps it's time to update this. No elaborate maps of New
Jersey, no amateurish clipping errors to put up with... just a clean
and slightly diabolical level for the dedicated Deathmatch player! A
few secret passages provide opportunities for healthy backstabbing and
rabbit punching, just the way you like it. :-) Other secrets and
physical feats abound. A few monsters thrown in to keep everyone
honest...
Yes, it was done with DEU 5.0 and cleaned up afterwards with BSP 1.0.
We can safely certify that Windows was not run at any time in the
preparation of this level. :-)
This will probably be the last release of TNCROSS, so we hope you enjoy
it. Next, a general exploration level. }-Valis-{

The Keep by Norman Scott

Title : THE-KEEP.WAD
Author : Norman Scott
Email Address : norman.scott@flatland.com
Misc. Author Info : doomaholic
Description : The-Keep is a revision of my Castle.wad.
I renamed it due to a previous wad with
the same name by someone else. Due to
many interesting comments, I have added
more windows, more monsters and also a way
out of the moat if you happen to fall in.
The-Keep is a castle with towers, dungeons,
and a moat. It has a good deathmatch or
single-player layout.
A demo is also included in the wad file
that shows all the secret areas and
switches. Just sit back and watch it
after you boot doom -file the-keep.wad.

Misc. Author Info :
Description : Zone13 was designed mainly for net doom play,
though it is large enough to be a good single play
level (I included a hidden exit.) The level has all
the weapons in multi-player mode and a good variety
of items, in single player form there's plenty o'
monster-wasting to be had.

Build Time : 40+ hours (this level went through 3 completely

Editor(s) used : DEU 5.0, BSP 1.0
Known Bugs : I found the combination of DEU v5 and BSP v1 work
the best for creating stable levels. DEU v5 still
has problems compiling the wad, which BSP v1 for the
most part cleans up.
The only problem with this wad I haven't been able
to correct, is that you'll see a "flash" of the
ceiling texture in a couple of spots. It's
somewhat random and very brief, so it doesn't
effect game play, it's more of an annoyance.
If you know the solution, feel free to fix it,
although I'm pretty sure it's a bug in DEU.

Additional Comments:
As with any Doom level, please play this level in a dimly lit
or dark room. I strongly urge that you not use gamma correction
unless you really have an unusually dark monitor. Gamma correction
tends to put a "wash" on the otherwise deep Doom colors and I
have chosen the light levels carefully. Some parts of this
level are dimly lit. This is not to disorient the player or
pull a cheap shot in the dark. It is to create the proper
mood and to exploit certain Doom textures that would look
unconvincing in brighter light (and with gamma correction).
Have fun!

of the wad. First, the template:

Email Address : lewis@c2d2e2.wes.army.mil
Misc. Author Info :
Description : My wad is a huge canyon with 3 mountains, various
caves and tunnel complexes, spiral stair cases,
a teleport grid, traps, and really long, scenic
views! Ideal for solo play or deathmatch (lots of
hidden nooks and crannies, and plenty of room to
run around). I think its fairly easy, even on UV,
but I didn't make it too hard. I wanted it to be
fun. And so it is! Enjoy!

trees to make his 486 stop slowing down. :)

Other: -Most recent modifications were to remove a few extraneous trees, to
make a FEW of the dark areas lighter, and to make a couple of rooms
darker ... don't whine, its just 2 rooms. Open the door and back up
into the safe, lit area you cowards. Besides, its not THAT dark. :)
-I have included a lmp file and a batch file to view the lmp with.
Watch the LMP only AFTER you play the level or some surprises might be
ruined (I want the weak among you to jump a couple of times). I kill
everything eventually, and I grab all the keys, get almost all the
items, activate practically every teleporter, go to all 3 areas
beyond the teleport grid, etc. Just to show ya how its done. I move
kinda fast thru the teleport grid, but you'll get it. Any my apologies
for my playing. :) Its on UViolence. I only just woke up, so I miss
a lot and played very hastily and casually and without concern for
deadliness or accuracy. I basically slob through the level and do
everything. :) Enjoy.

Courtyard by Michael Kelsey
---------------------------
Welcome to the CourtYard,
REPLACES Episode 3 Mission 1
NEWBIES! READ THIS:
usage:
doom -file cortyr_b.wad
and select episode 3.
to play the demo:
doom -devparm -playdemo cortyr_b
and watch.
This is revision B (hexadecimal) of the CourtYard. If you have *any*
other version, please remove/destroy/obliterate the copy and use this one.
Special thanks to Dylan and Colin for getting BSP11X out to me so quickly!
That's one of the major reasons why the CourtYard is here *today*.
Now for nitty gritty. This level is extrememly difficult for myself,
and I consider myself a *very* experience Doom player. Included with the
level is an LMP (demo) demonstrating the quickest routes to completing the
level. I had to re-record *many* times because I exceeded the 15 minute
recording limit. Also, I got nuked several times when attempting to cut
corners and bypass some of the trouble; it didn't work :) Anyhow, if you
get stuck (say you can't find one of the keys), watch the LMP, it should
clarify any confusion that may abound.
DESCRIPTION: CORTYR_B.ZIP
Yes! There is a central CourtYard for you pleasure. Also, through-
out the level you will find a power reactor, power conduits, big, big,
lights, a lamppost, a huge pit, jail bars, secret elevators, and some very
idle barons awaiting your company :) This level has been tested deathmatch,
and, believe it or not, I got my butt fragged even though I designed the
level! I admit that there are not enough linkages to fully enjoy DeathMatch,
but, I hope someone else will test out the level and see how it works for
them.
BUG NOTICE:
Yes, I know that there is still some clipping that occurs in the
huge slime pit. This is a result of the "too many two-sided linedefs"
bug native to the DOOM executable. That's just the way it goes :( After
the final compilation, I *did* notice two sidedefs missing the appropriate
textures, fortunately, they don't really get noticed. Play the level, and
occassionaly stop to look :)
Once again, for those who are new to this level, I have, in short,
maxxed the memory capabilities of DEU. You can flip linedefs, move vertices,
delete sectors, but, DEU won't compile properly, if at all. Secondly, my
level was approximately 75% complete when I couldn't to a single thing with
the map. So, it was at this point that I added doors, lifts, etc. etc., in
places where I had not intended. I still think the level looks and plays
well despite its incompleteness. I hope that you, too, enjoy it.
LAST THOUGHTS:
If the level is *too* difficult on UltraViolence, try a lighter
setting. If you are completely new to Doom, the lightest setting will
be breeze easy, meaning that you can actually find time to view the
level without a sergeant peeping around the corner and blasting your
nuts off (sorry ladies). This level involved *over* 40 hours of work
using only DEU. I wouldn't suggest any other editor even with the BUGS
that DEU has....keep working with it and you'll figure it out.
Lastly, *please* don't use this level as an example. As I stated
earlier, this level was only 75% complete, meaning I had to pull some
strings in order to keep the level flowing. I'm very much glad it is done
since I have some major projects that needed tending to.
May the force be with you! (I have kept the STAR WARS sound patch
on, even for the recorded demo :) Definately worth the meggage on my hard
drive.
'tis all, now go out and die :)

Megalab by Casey Miller (Note: I did not include the other level, Megawatt
----------------------- in this episode; not because it's not good,
it is very good, but because I wanted all of the
others included and couldn't have more than 8
levels without grafting a secret exit onto one
of them without the author's knowledge or
permission. I'll probably release Megawatt in
a later episode)

Organization: Washington State University
After too many hours I have finally completed my second complete external wad
file for use with the registered version of Doom. As promised, the zip file
also contains a re-release of my first wad megawatt.wad. This new version of
megawatt has the bugs fixed and now has difficulty levels implemented. For
those easily offened by satanic overtones, neither level uses any satanic
textures. Megawatt replaces level one of episode one and Megalab replaces
level two of episode one. Both levels contain multi-player and deathmatch
starting points, and skill level options.
To load the levels enter: Doom -file megawatt.wad megalab.wad
(Make sure both wads are in the Doom directory)
Megawatt was built with the Deu 4 beta editor, and Megalab was completed with
Deu 4 beta, then the new Deu 5, and nodes built with BSP v1.1 beta. I can
almost garuntee there will be no clipping. I must give credit to the new
Deu 5 for its auto texture align feature as Megalab would not have been
released this soon.
For those who enjoyed Megawatt, my new Megalab level should be equally
enjoyable if not more. Neither level abuses the player by adding too many
monsters so you should find both reasonable to play. I hope you enjoy and
would appreciate any feedback at the above internet e-mail address. I will
graduate after the 6th so my e-mail address will no longer be valid, so don't
bother sending me mail after that date. I will hopefully get a new account
in my home town within a few weeks afterwards.
Good luck on your kills,

Have fun!!

NEW LEVELS FOR DOOM
This is an entirely new episode for Doom, made up of 8 levels created
by people who love to play Doom but were getting a little tired
of the levels included with the game. These are not necessarily the
best new levels out there (and there are a LOT of very good ones
available right now, with an average of 2 or 3 good ones being
released every day), but a few of the ones I enjoy playing.
I'll try to release a new episode about every month if time allows,
so I hope that you won't get bored with Doom and stop playing it....
there's a LOT of new adventures on the way. These are the names of
the new levels, and the author's name, if I could find it:

Loading Instructions: To play this episode, just run the batch file
NEWLEV.BAT. This will load the new data into Doom and start the
game. When the notice comes up that says something like "ATTENTION:
This version of DOOM has been modified. If you would like to get a
copy of the original game blah blah blah press enter to continue,"
just hit Enter. Choose New Game and then select Episode 1 - Knee
Deep in the Dead. The new episode will temporarily replace the data of
the standard episode 1. **NOTE: This will NOT replace episode 1
permanently! The next time you load Doom the normal way (DOOM.EXE),
everything will be exactly as it was before. To play this new
episode, you must run the batch file NEWLEV.BAT or type in DOOM -FILE
NEWLEV.WAD to load the new data. You can save games while playing
these new levels, but you will have to load the new episode whenever
you want to resume them, they will not work correctly with the standard
Doom levels.
Hints: Most of these levels were created by advanced players, for
advanced players. This means that on the harder skill levels (Hurt
Me Plenty and Ultraviolence) they will be difficult. And there will
be quite a few secrets in these levels. Look for things that are out
of the ordinary, such as parts of a wall that are different colors
than the rest, listen for sounds, like opening doors or lifts going
up or down; many times these secrets will not be obvious, so try
everything you can think of. And if all else fails, don't be afraid
to use the cheat codes. It's having fun you're worried about, not
whether or not you could finish a level without cheating.
Now go get 'em!
